Gun Control Thread- Should we?

[skinsguy]

I'm not sure why you guys are wasting time arguing about gun control and gun laws in general. Since when do the criminals obey laws?

I tried to make that point to the gun control supporters earlier but they don't understand that common sense point. They just think hanging a "Gun Free Zone!" sign will make the orange-haired terrorists go home and play video games to get their anger out.

Well duh, of course not.


We have to ban video games too.

So the answer is just let everyone have a gun? Ok

Oversimplifying it, but, "Yes".

I don't think a majority of people should be permitted to drive, but they are. Cars aren't designed to kill but they do an admirable job of the task.

Please honestly consider if this was true at this moment. At 16, everyone gets a sidearm. Honestly just think about that right now and look around you, I get nervous. It would be a more fearful society.

Why are you picking 16? I'd have gone with 21.

Surely only those with a chronically poor aim would be fearful?

Fuq 'em.

I believe he choose 16 because the original point was about drivers.

I think at 18 every Swiss male gets screened for their army or mitilia. 2/3rds are deemed fit and are forced to join and every member gets issued 2 assualt rifles and 2 pistols to keep at home.

No jack nuts you get a Swiss Army knife and are left in the woods for a week. Who ever is left at the end of the week is in the army.

I don't get it either. Why bother with any laws at all then? Why are we wasting time with such foolishness?

Let's just make everyone a mod while we're at it

Mayor Bloomberg to the rescue with more of his stupid antics. How did this clown get elected anyway?


Mayor Bloomberg Says Cops Should Go On Strike Until Americans Give Up Their Guns - Hit & Run : Reason.com

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told CNN's Piers Morgan last night that he doesn't "understand why police officers across this country don’t stand up collectively and say we’re going to go on strike, we’re not going to protect you unless you, the public, through your legislature, do what’s required to keep us safe."

Didn't you sort of already try that experiment?

If jumping to conclusions was an Olympic sport, you would have already won the gold.

Obviously I did not say the answer is to let everyone have a gun. I'm saying it's fruitless to argue gun laws, since criminals do not follow law anyway. All the gun laws do is keep an honest man honest. Period.

And while the theater massacre was horrific and something that I hope never happens again, there was no absolute way of preventing this guy from doing what he did. Even if gun laws were more strict, he would have gotten his material some other way. If he was psychotic enough to kill a bunch of innocent people, what makes you think he would not have used illegal means to obtain his weapons? It's a moot point.
